[Q] From GB LC1... to ICS LQ3 ? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have my Galaxy note since 4 months now I and think it's time to update it to ICS and why not to a custom rom like Criskelo (before my Note I had the GS II and I was really happy of the Criskelo Rom I installed on it).
So here I am, looking for informations about how to proceed to upgrade my phone..
I read a lot of post, it seems that few ROMs are really dangerous and can block the phone, and it seems that the LC1 is unrootable so I would have to downgrade it first ?
So can someone who know explain me how to proceed ? which steps should I follow?
I read that to go to ICS LQ8 from GB, I should first
"Install ics repack by chainfire via mobile odin-reboot-reboot into revovery-full wipe-install criskelo ics "
But there is a topic "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633943" which say "do not install any ics repack"...
So I'm totally lost !
I hope someone can help me, as I said, my goal is to go from GB LC1 to ICS Criskelo7 LQ3!
Thank you in advance

Hi!
To get root from lc1, you can just use a french tutorial here:
http://www.galaxynote.fr/rooter-facilement-son-telephone-t3714.html
Can't be more simple!
From there I didn't get to know how to install a stable ics rom.
Just let me know if you find a simple and safe way to install a good rom.

You can follow the procedure suggested by xda developers:
When on any rooted GB Rom:
1. download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel and place it on your internal/external SD Card
Also download the ICS Rom you want to install and put it on your SD card.
2. reboot to CWMR and do a backup of your current system
3. after your backup is done, stay in Recovery
4. go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it
5. go back to CWMR's root menu --> advanced --> reboot recovery
6. you'll find yourself in AbyssNote's Touch Recovery
7. factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik
9. flash the ICS Rom of your choice
10. reboot and let the Rom settle for a couple of minutes

Hi Guys,
Thank you very much for your fast answers !
Tonight is the big night, I will upgrade my device !
@jabab : I will follow thistutorial to root my Note
@tknguyencsu : Ok then when my GB LC1 will be rooted, I just need to follow you instructions !
Can you explain me why is AbyssNote needed ? No risk to do a factory reset on my GB LC1 stock rom ? Do you agree that all this means I go directly from my GB LC1 to a ICS LQ3 without any middle step with a lower ICS version ?
Sorry for all this newb question..

Thanks for this !! But I have just got my Note and its LC1 - Can I just flash the zImage I got from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360 Or do i need to do the whole downgrade procedure ?

Hi again !
Thank you very much guys, It's done for me ! I'm on Criskelo LQ3 and everything was fine !
@azzledazzle: As I understood on different post, the stock GB LC1 rom is not rootable, so you will at first need to flash an other kernel in your device.
Few options then, as tknguyencsu advice, you can install "AbyssNote 4.2 kernel", or a "Rooted_Stock_Odex_N7000XXLC1_FRANCE" which I did (few posts will give you a link to the one you want).
You flash then your device with it (non-wipe) and then you will be able to root in an easy way.
When your device is rooted, do a backup, and then go for a full wipe (I think it's more than needed to go from GB to ICS).
Then > install your ROM
For perfectly for me !
Thank you for your help guys
(ps: do I need to do a batterie stats reset ? if yes should I do it when the device is fully charged ?)

Hey man, Did the above steps but ran into a few issues, To save me double posting heres the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27716441&postcount=78
Im back on ICS now, with CF kernel... Dont know what step(s) to take next

And what about the triangle after flashing with Abyss?

Yeah I have that too, But im not using abyss any more, Im using CF kernel, and i still have it.
Not so keen on CF kernel, I heard someone got the hardbrick with it. Am i to use the CWM app for all flashing now ? Cause when i booted into recovery and flashed abyss it wouldnt boot.

From what i as able to understand - if we do this:
"4. go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it
5. go back to CWMR's root menu --> advanced --> reboot recovery"
in other words - if we do not boot with Abyss we won't get the yellow triangle.
Is this correct?

Neobuddy released a new way of installing which some people reported they wasn't getting full root yet the way I've done it and done it a few times I've never had a problem with root like I said it has worked for some so may work for others

Not necessary as the new way of installing implanted by neobuddy has worked this way also I've tried with imilka rom and have full root
I feel this much easier if you're on a rooted GB Note.
1) copy Chainfire-Repack (790MB), Triangle-Away, Custom NOTE Rom, Titanium-Self-Package (Titanium will generate this on request), your current custom ROM onto the external and the internal SD card
2) save all Titanium Backups + NANDROID Backups to your PC .
3) select in Mobil ODIN that Chainfire-Repack.tar from your preferred SD card, activate EveryRoot, Inject SuperUser und Wipe Data .
4) Flash!
5) Note will boot in recovery!
6) FULL WIPE
7) Flash your custom ROM
8) Reboot
9) If you wish - reboot again to recovery and install your Titanium-Self-Package (.zip)
10) Reboot into you "new" device and restore you apps with Titanium
Thank you~

Let the kernel be what comes with the rom. You can try flashing different modems though which give you the best reception and battery life. Like for me LP6 work wonders. here is the link (thanks to chasmodo)- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24795579&postcount=975
Rest links you can find in my signature.
Hit thanks if it helped you!

Just download the file and keep it in your SD card internal or external - your choice. Reboot to recovery and then select install zip from sd card. (if its internal card then select - install zip from internal sd card). Then locate the zip and hit yes flash. Done
Next step- Hit thanks button LOL

When my SGN was in ICS Criskelo v3 I did the following steps suggested by this forum
1. download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel and place it on your internal/external SD Card
Also download the GB Rom you want to install and put it on your SD card.
2. reboot to CWMR and do a backup of your current system
3. after your backup is done, stay in Recovery
4. go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it
5. go back to CWMR's root menu --> advanced --> reboot recovery
6. you'll find yourself in AbyssNote's Recovery
7. factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik
9. flash the GB Rom of your choice
10. reboot and let the Rom settle for a couple of minutes
It worked for my SGN. I am not sure if it will work with your ICS rom.

I am not sure if it is safe, but I reverted to GB from LPY using PC odin.
No problem.
I'm in a similar situation: stock LPY, rooted with temp CWM. The thing is that I did a full wipe with stock recovery a few days ago. How could I know if my eMMc is damaged? being a flashaholic in rehab, i don't want to risk my note... is it safe for me to flash, say, singapore LC2 with pc Odin??

[Q] [ROM] ROCKET ROM - v2 - ICS - XXLPY [Update 23/05] -- Safe?

Hi guys,
i read a lot about the hard bricking stuff and the kernel questions. But one thing is still not clear to me. In the warning thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633943) they say "XXLPY official ICS release for GT-N7000" is affected. The creator of the Rocket ROM wrote as a feature "CF-Root kernel XXLPF"
Now my question:
Does this mean that i can flash this rom without the fear of the hardbricking stuff? Or would you suggest NOT to flash a new rom until there is a new stock rom out and stay at GB 2.3.6?
Thx for your help!
Better to ask this in the RocketROM thread, the guys running it would have a better answer for you.
Personally I live in fear of the SuperBrick all the time, so I avoid all the ROMs based on the affected kernels.
Hello,
The Problem is that i cant post in their thread due to the "minimum of Ten posts" rule. So i was forced to ask my question here.
you can flash it if you like. just make sure you have the RIGHT kernel before you do a full wipe. i was on rr v1 i dled v2 but didnt flash it. installed kingdom rom instead

I followed the procedure suggested by this forum:
When on any rooted GB Rom:
1. download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel and place it on your internal/external SD Card
Also download the ICS Rom you want to install and put it on your SD card.
2. reboot to CWMR and do a backup of your current system
3. after your backup is done, stay in Recovery
4. go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it

6. you'll find yourself in AbyssNote's Touch Recovery
7. factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik
9. flash the ICS Rom of your choice
10. reboot and let the Rom settle for a couple of minutes
I have flashed Criskelo V3 ICS rom, LiquidSmooth, Stunner, and CM9 using this procedure without problem so far.

I am new to andriod
currently my N7000 is on GB, rooted and using GB Rocket Rom V23 for LC1 with Speedmod.
Am thinking of flashing to Rocket Rom ICS V7 or Criskelo's V8 ICS Rom.
How should I go about doing it safely?
Read a few threads that has the similiar steps stated above
1) flash abyss kernel
2) boot into recovery and do full wipes
3) flash criselko
4) flash speedmod (if want to)
Is that enough to flash from a GB Rocket Rom to ICS rocket or Criskelo Rom?
Or do I need to flash to a stock ICS rom 1st? If so, how should I go about doing that?
Appreciate your help. Thank you.

yes, there is such an option in cwm. you'll need to go to advance then select the first option - reboot recovery. rest of your steps are right.. :good:
What about from a Rocket GB V23 Rom to a Rocket Rom ICS V7 or Criskelo's V8 ICS Rom?

I would rather suggest you go first flashing a pre rooted GB rom via PC odin and then think about custom ICS roms.

Criskelo's ICS 10.1 instalation guide

hi there, can someone guide me how to install criskelo ics 10.1 rom, i use to flash rocketrom before, so i think i got some skill on flashing custom rom...but itried to flash criskelo 9.1 last week n the result my note got hard brick, cant turn to download mode or recovery mode... luckily, i still got waranty on my note and sent it to SS n get new board as replacement...so can some one guide me the safest way to flash this rom...now im on stock ics 4.0.3 rom n rooted...
CRISKELO IS A VERY GOOD ROM BUT TRY WAIT A LITLE MORE TIME GET BETTER IN HIS VERSION ICS BECAUSE I AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS , THE SAME WAY YOU INSTALL ROKET YOU INSTALL CRISKELO,
BUT IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE THIS IS THE STEPS
FROM THE ORIGINAL GB
ROOT YOUR PHONE WHIT CF-Root-SGN_ZS_MUL_KK1-v5.0-CWM5
THEN INSTALL ABISS KERNEL REDPILL GO TO ADVANCE AND REBOOT RECOVERY
WIPE DATA, CACHE,DAVLICK CACHE
AND INSTALL THE CRISKELO ROM
BUT TO ME IN THIS WAY THE ROM CONTINUE TO GIVE ME PROBLEMS:
SUPERSU ASKING FOR PERMISS FOR ALL APPS
BATTERY PERCENT NOT SHOW CORECTLY
IN THE OTHER HAND CRISKELO VERSION 7 IS A ROM WHITOUT ANY PROBLEM VERY RECOMMNDED:good:
so which rom is best for now
If I were you, I would:
1. Download abyss kernel (this is a gb kernel so it should be safe)
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...rnel/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.zip
2. Install abyss from cwm (don't do any wipes)
3. Still in cwm, go to advance and reboot cwm
4. Do the three wipes (cahe, dalvik and factory)
5. Install criskelo's rom
It should be done.
That's how I installed,
I'm using criskelo's rom with glnotecore kernel and everything works fine.
